2011, China's senior vehicles in the collective generation. The face of fierce market competition, red in the first camp, senior German car, Japanese car prices in each joint venture challenge. To German New "Passat" and new "Mai Tang", the seventh generation of Japanese, "Camry", led by senior car front heavy car "heart" of war, set off an "engine of war" "Technology of War", in order to seize the Chinese energy market after the New Deal initiative.

With the seventh generation of Guangzhou Toyota "Camry" listed, Toyota system is set off a round for the naturally aspirated engine "name" war.

Toyota system is facing a hard battle. In naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines of war, the latter overshadowed. Three years ago, the German public to be regarded as a gold powertrain "TSI + DSG" (turbo + double clutch transmission) technology to a variety of domestic vehicles carrying, China ushered in the "T" (turbo ) era. With the hot German cars, the majority of consumers believe that the turbocharged engine's power advantage than traditional naturally aspirated engine, and fuel economy high. Currently, the naturally aspirated engine market share dropped from about 99%, while the models with turbocharged engines into the meat and potatoes.

At the same time, as Toyota, Honda and other Japanese car firms have always been reluctant to give up the naturally aspirated (NA) engine, the Japanese car to be brought into the turbo engine "Weizhui" dilemma, "Japanese cars are not for the core generation shedding "constantly criticized by the market.

Toyota special service, Minister of Technology Management Division a copy of your W-liang Ji tried to correct the bias, he said: "naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines have their own strengths, naturally aspirated can also improve fuel economy at the same time, achieve energy saving. "seventh generation" Camry "name the Department as the Toyota make. In the use of innovative technology, the naturally aspirated engine equipped with the seventh generation "Camry", to meet or exceed the same turbocharged engine power and energy efficiency, fuel economy and even beyond the turbocharged engine. For example, hundred kilometers from the 9.5L (Sixth Generation "Camry" models equipped with 2.4L engine) down to 7.8L, its fuel efficiency increased by 24% over the level of turbo (the traditional turbo engine fuel rate is 20%); and increase the output power of 12 kW (135 kW), increased about 10%.

Guangzhou Toyota executives said the naturally aspirated engine due to a number of more fuel-efficient technologies, such as into the more advanced powertrain (with pride Toyota hybrid technology), equipped with Toyota's most advanced "5AR-FE Dual VVT-i engine "and" 6-speed manual transmission, "and so on.

Advocates of turbo technology, it will be Shanghai Volkswagen's new "Passat" as a model. New "Passat" 1.4TSI selected list of energy-saving car subsidies, it is evaluated as: power, like the tiger, fuel consumption like sheep, 100 km combined fuel consumption of just 6.7L; powered B-Class car with most of the 2.0L displacement of rival models, maximum power up to 96kw, at 1750 rev / min, low speed, a burst of 220N ¡¤ m of torque.

The face of Germany and Japan dispute the engine department, the industry pointed out that, in addressing the fuel economy and efficient power problem, naturally aspirated engine will not lose the advantage - or even stronger than - turbocharged engine. Naturally aspirated engine due to its excellent performance in low speed acceleration, but also more suitable for China's urban traffic congestion, and have run more reliable, cheaper maintenance advantages. In addition, due to cost less than the naturally aspirated engine turbocharged engine, many consumers will not pay money for the turbo technology.

One consumer said, "turbocharging engines to synthetic oil, mineral oil price is about four times and naturally aspirated engines only need to use mineral oil."

In fact, in any case, German, Japanese on the naturally aspirated (NA) and turbocharged engine of competition, it is for consumers to enjoy, while consumers can experience different driving pleasure; the other hand, playing under the banner of low-cost high-performance, high-class cars Toyota system will inevitably lead to collective price.
